Sugar CRM DB not working on template

Hi, We have a template with Linux & sugar CRM db installed. Using this template we deployed a machine. Now, when we try to access: http://<internal_ip>/install.php, it is asking to install sugracrm db again. Is there a reason why this is happening.

The installation scripts are designed to create a clean install of SugarCRM, including the File System and a new Database, it isn't setup to handle using an existing database. I would recommend using the following as a work-around to this design:

1. Enter a dummy database name during the installation process, such as 'deleteMe'.2. Once the installation is completed, remove the 'deleteMe' database.3. Update the config.php file to change the 'db_name' value to use the database setup in your template.
